I'm getting closer to the 3.8 release of BottomFeeder. I just made a fix to a new thing I added in the dev stream. Some people on Linux were having problems with spawning an external browser, so I had added a setting to specify which shell to use (sh, csh, etc) - instead of defaulting to csh. I had neglected to specify the correct arguments for using sh - which meant that it didn't work (it wasn't reading one line and quitting). That's been addressed. I've been making modifications to the "search in BottomFeeder" feature as well - if you have text selected, the search tool will prompt with that text - otherwise it will use the current item title. I also added an option in that tool to search by feed title - if you have as many feeds as I do (293), sometimes it's easier to just do a search :)
